| PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE |
It's hard to believe with this cold spell that spring is just around the corner!  However, as Phoenix warms up, so is your chapter! We have different, exciting events and activities just around the corner, starting with our January chapter meeting featuring Mike Orr (read more about Mike below). Kravet is hosting our honored guest speaker and volunteers who are bringing this special evening to you are quite excited. Next month's chapter meeting features .1 CEU as we learn about smart technology. Hosted by Crestron at iPic Theaters at Scottsdale Quarter, this will certainly be a different kind of meeting! This year our home tour is current with national trends of remodeling. Remodeled by Design showcases homes in central Phoenix and North Scottsdale and will be held on March 2, 2013. Don't forget our annual Design for Hire (more information below). Held in March, it matches up the public with ASID designers. Designers volunteer up to two hours of their time and the public often interacts with a designer for the very first time. Then we roll right on into our second annual Elements Trade Show, Professional Development Day as well as other exciting activities. See you on the 17th! Cindy Lewton, ASIDPresident, Arizona North Chapter |

Design for Hire March 2013
It's Coming...Design for Hire!
Design for Hire will be held throughout the month of March 2013. Designers are matched up with clients for a maximum of a two-hour consultation at $75/hour. These initial consult fees are donated to our chapter to support our activities as well as a percentage supports student scholarships and education. After this initial consultation, the designer is welcome to continue the relationship with the client independent of the chapter. This is a win-win for all: You are supporting the chapter, the public learns a little more about how to work with a designer, and the designer may possibly get a lucrative project from this initial consult.
Designer registration will begin shortly. Continue to watch for more news!
